<a name="GtkVButtonBox.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
A button box should be used to provide a consistent layout of buttons
throughout your application. The layout/spacing can be altered by the
programmer, or if desired, by the user to alter the 'feel' of a
program to a small degree.
</p>
<p>
A <a class="link" href="GtkVButtonBox.html" title="GtkVButtonBox"><span class="type">GtkVButtonBox</span></a> is created with <a class="link" href="GtkVButtonBox.html#gtk-vbutton-box-new" title="gtk_vbutton_box_new ()"><code class="function">gtk_vbutton_box_new()</code></a>. Buttons are
packed into a button box the same way widgets are added to any other
container, using <a class="link" href="GtkContainer.html#gtk-container-add" title="gtk_container_add ()"><code class="function">gtk_container_add()</code></a>. You can also use
<a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-pack-start" title="gtk_box_pack_start ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_pack_start()</code></a> or <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-pack-end" title="gtk_box_pack_end ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_pack_end()</code></a>, but for button boxes both
these functions work just like <a class="link" href="GtkContainer.html#gtk-container-add" title="gtk_container_add ()"><code class="function">gtk_container_add()</code></a>, ie., they pack the
button in a way that depends on the current layout style and on
whether the button has had <a class="link" href="GtkButtonBox.html#gtk-button-box-set-child-secondary" title="gtk_button_box_set_child_secondary ()"><code class="function">gtk_button_box_set_child_secondary()</code></a> called
on it.
</p>
<p>
The spacing between buttons can be set with <a class="link" href="GtkBox.html#gtk-box-set-spacing" title="gtk_box_set_spacing ()"><code class="function">gtk_box_set_spacing()</code></a>. The
arrangement and layout of the buttons can be changed with
<a class="link" href="GtkButtonBox.html#gtk-button-box-set-layout" title="gtk_button_box_set_layout ()"><code class="function">gtk_button_box_set_layout()</code></a>.
